Will the formatting match the original PDF?

Text content is preserved in reading order. Complex layouts, multi-column designs, and embedded images may not transfer perfectly because PDF and Word use very different layout models.

Does it work on scanned PDFs?

Only PDFs that contain actual text (digital PDFs) can be converted. Scanned PDFs that are images of text would require OCR, which is not included in this tool.

Is the output .docx or .doc?

The output is .docx, which opens in Microsoft Word 2007 and later, as well as Google Docs, LibreOffice, and Pages.

Will images from the PDF be in the Word file?

Text is the primary output. Embedded raster images are not extracted in this version of the tool.

About PDF to Word

PDF to Word extracts the text content of a PDF and packages it into a downloadable .docx file that you can open and edit in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LibreOffice. The tool uses a JavaScript-based PDF parser to pull text from each page in reading order, then writes it into a Word document with proper paragraph and heading structure. This works best for PDFs that were generated from a digital source (like a Word export) — for scanned PDFs that are essentially images of text, an OCR step would be needed and is outside the scope of this tool. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Privacy

Text extraction happens entirely in your browser. No file is uploaded to any server.

Limitations

Works on digital (text-based) PDFs only. Scanned PDFs need OCR. Complex layouts and embedded images may not transfer cleanly.
